Don't know if it's your case.
We have same trouble here with dir hanging after having run the first job.
I've restart it with -d100 just to check what's happen.
In the meantime, on the bacula server (which has been upgraded from opensuse
11.1 to 11.2 ) I have found that postfix is
throttling ... ( missing relay.db file in /etc/postfix : issue a postmap relay
and restart postfix )
After that all emails are working.
As inside my dir-config message bsmtp are connected to the internal postfix,
bsmtp was hanging ! And perharps bacula-dir too.
I've now running three scheduled jobs, and bacula-dir have done it's jobs.
What I suspect is : there's no bsmtp timeout ( if it could not connect it
return, but if it connect and nothing goes right in
postfix (the throttling case) it wait indefinitely and also the director ....
I will leave this configuration running 2 to 3 days just to be sure it was that.
In the meantime, if you can check on your side, if you get some trouble with
bstmp to infirm or confirm.
